Hey, I’m trying to increase the max file upload size on my site. I edited my config file per the instructions here:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-max-attachment-size/26435](https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-max-attachment-size/26435)

I rebuilt the app and then my discourse went down. So I removed the lines and rebooted the server. Back up now, but still now sure on how to do this.

Can someone tell me exactly what file to edit? I had [Discourse.org](http://Discourse.org) install my forum on a Digital Ocean droplet, so everything is standard. Thanks!
